Recently, a short, interferon-inducible isoform of Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme 2 (ACE2), dACE2 was identified. ACE2 is a SARS-Cov-2 receptor and changes in its renal expression have been linked to several human nephropathies. These changes were never analyzed in context of , as its expression was not investigated in the kidney. We used Human Primary Proximal Tubule (HPPT) cells to show genome-wide gene expression patterns after cytokine stimulation, with emphasis on the locus. Putative regulatory elements controlling expression were identified using ChIP-seq and RNA-seq. qRT-PCR differentiating between and revealed 300- and 600-fold upregulation of by IFNα and IFNβ, respectively, while full length expression was almost unchanged. JAK inhibitor ruxolitinib ablated and expression after interferon treatment. Finally, with RNA-seq, we identified a set of genes, largely immune-related, induced by cytokine treatment. These gene expression profiles provide new insights into cytokine response of proximal tubule cells.
